Blogging other blogs

May 19, 2000 by Michael Boyle

is a little tired, but still, there’s a burning question out there. How often will Tom of Barbelith and Katy of Kitschbitch redesign riothero while young Mark is gone? Making weblog entries, that’s one thing. But Mark is a redesigning fool!

I just went by

May 18, 2000 by Michael Boyle

my neighbour’s sites on the webloggers ring – on the left is Ritalin Junkie, which is lovely and a fun read – on the right is a Dutch site, Vantienen.com. Can’t make heads nor tails of it. To Jish: feel the power of suggestion!

Wired is running

May 18, 2000 by Michael Boyle

a fantastic story about Lawrence Lessig’s speech at the Ninth World Wide Web conference in Amsterdam. One thing that he neglects to mention but forms the backdrop of the whole story is that the Telecom Reform Act (the one that the CDA came packaged within) explicitly paved the way for AT&Ts current behaviour. That should have been a bigger story than the CDA at the time – it sure is now. By allowing mergers and combinations in the telecom space that were previously illegal, it opened the door to many really cool business combos that weren’t possible before. But it also raised the spectre of a virtually private network that could be controlled by capital in ways that the net cannot be. And, really, who needs CDA-style censorship when you have a closed network in the first place?

Listening to the show

May 18, 2000 by Michael Boyle

has prompted me to update my “about” page again. I have some more to say there – and now’s the time. Or soon, anyhow. I think it’s going to rain all weekend. Boo, but good for this site (and my other side projects).

Just listened to

May 18, 2000 by Michael Boyle

the Connection show on weblogs. I accessed it through the link on that main page. I think the show was fun, and I enjoyed listening to the three guests.
